Imac via ethernet/macbook via wireless Netgear router. No network ability.

I hooked my imac (imac G4/700) to a Netgear router via ethernet cable. My MacBook (DualCore) accesses the router via airport connection. Both can get to internet fine. But I CANNOT get them talking to each other- thus sharing info. Appletalk is enabled as well as file sharing on both. No apparent firewalls are on either. ANy ideas??
thanks!

You should probalby contact Netgear

    Sounds like a cable problem. Try another cable and another USB port too.

    I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.  Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • Connect an old iMac to a MacBook via ethernet to gain internet access?

    I have a 2008 white macbook running 10.6.8
    I have a 2004 lamshade G4 800mhz imac running 10.4.11
    I do not have a wireless card for the imac and it is no where near my router.
    Is there any way to connect the imac to the macbook with an ethernet cable and use the macbooks internet on the imac? If so, can you give me the step by step directions?

    Connect an ethernet cable from the MacBook to the iMac.
    From the Macbook, do System Preferences > Sharing and turn ON "Internet Sharing.
    Set the options so they look like this:
    except click the checkbox so internet sharing is "on." (I didn't turn it on when I made the screnshot.)
    That should route internet servtce from the wireless access of the MB to the iMac.
    You should be able to use a standard cat5 patch cable but. if that doesn't work, try either connecting via an ethernet hub or use a crossover cat5 cable. I think the iMac is new enough to not require a crossover but I add this as an option.

  • Connecting via Ethernet - backing up wirelessly

    Hi
    I have placed an order for Time Capsule but I have been wandering....
    Is it possible to connect to the Time Capsule via Ethernet for the Internet Connection, whilst the back up takes place over wireless? Or does it mean if I connect via Ethernet, the back up and Internet connection will be via Ethernet? What I am concerned with it Lag on the network (same applies too for Wireless) and would like wireless back up whilst connecting via Ethernet to the Net.

    Or does it mean if I connect via Ethernet, the back up and Internet connection will be via Ethernet?
    Yes

  • Mail works via ethernet NOT via airport

    my several email accounts send/receive just fine when I am connected via Ethernet connection but the same setup does not function when I am connected to the same network via Airpot

    Your laptop presumably is connecting via Wifi directly to the Airport Express.  From the perspective of the AE, it is on the LAN side.  Your AE is connected via eithernet to the rest of your network.  From the perspective of the AE, this is on the WAN side.
    Use Airport Utility to check the settings of the AE. 
    1) Select the Airport Express Device
    2) Click Manual Setup
    3) From the icons across the top, click "Music"
    4) Is the "Enable Airplay over WAN" checkbox checked?  I'm guessing probably not.  Click that checkbox and update the AE (it will restart).  You should then be able to see it from the WAN/ethernet side.

  • Add Wireless N Router To Network With An Actiontec Router

    Hi everyone, I know this wireless N thing is being beaten to death but I just really need to be pointed in the right direction.  I recently built a HTPC setup with a SiliconDust HD Homerun network tuner so I could share three tuners with computers on my network.  I've got two PCs wired to the network right now which share them fine.  But the problem I'm running into is when I try to set up my laptop to watch something wirelessly, usually a game in HD.  The signal is very weak and I constantly lose the tuners because of that, not to mention the picture is very choppy.  I saw on a Microsoft Windows Media Center site that they don't recommend streaming HD TV feeds over anything other than a wireless N connection.  I currently have the standard Actiontec router that came with FiOS, and it doesn't the N band.  Now, that router accesses the internet signal through a coax so I know I can't get rid of it, but I've seen mentioned in a couple of places that you can just add a wireless N router into the network and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router.  This is the router I was thinking of getting:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+Linksys+-+E1200+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2225...
    My current network setup is like this: Actiontec router upstairs which carries internet to -> a gigabit switch connected to -> computer, tuners, and printer upstairs, with a line run to -> another gigabit switch downstairs which connects to -> a computer, and an XBox. 
    So a couple of questions about this:
    - Where would this go on the network?  Would it go after the router and before the switches, like I run the internet into the new router then out to the switch, or can I just add it to one of the switches?
    - Will I need to do any sort of port forwarding or anything, or assiging of IP addresses?
    - Anything else I should know or might run into?
    I love my FiOS service so hopefully this will help me get even more out of it!
    Solved!

    I wanted to upgrade to an N protocol wireless router but since Verizon doesn’t offer the option, I purchased a Netgear N600. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I discovered that it didn’t have a coax connection as did the Verizon Actiontec. I then set out to find out how to daisy chain the routers to leave the Actiontec connected to the coax and connect the two routers via Ethernet cable. To my good fortune, during the time I spent on the phone with Netgear, I learned my way around their router interface and with the help of a co-worker that actually has a solid understanding of router/network configuration, I finally got everything working correctly – my port forwarding for RDC login worked, I could connect devices to either router and everything could once again see each other (e.g. PC, printer via Ethernet, Blu-ray player for Netflix, receiver for streaming Windows Media Player). Hopefully, this post will help you get up and running quickly and avoid the several hours I spent groping in the dark for the correct configuration.
    Login to Verizon Actiontec router (type 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar).
    No configuration changes are necessary on the Actiontec, you just need to identify an open IP address range in My Network section (I chose 192.168.1.50). This will be used as your static IP address of the Netgear router LAN settings.
    Connect you PC via Ethernet cable directly into an Ethernet port (not WAN/Internet) on the Netgear router. No other connections are needed at this point.
    Note: Do not use the Netgear wizard CD to setup the router. It will not take you through the necessary steps as you’re not setting it up as a router.
    Login to the Netgear router (type routerlogin.net into the browser address bar) using the default login of “admin” and password “password”. Depending on your firmware version, your interface may vary but hopefully you’ll be able to find the same configuration options in either but perhaps not in the same order or placement. For subsequent logins after the router is active, you may need to type the Netgear IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) as routerlogin.net may open a search.
    At the top of the Netgear genie, click on the Advanced tab.
    On the left side, expand Setup, then select Internet Setup.
    Select “Get dynamically from ISP”, under Internet IP Address.
    Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select “Use These DNS Servers”, and enter the IP Address of your Actiontec router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the Primary DNS” field.
    Next go down a few options  within Setup to Wireless Setup.
    In the Wireless Network 2.4GHz section, click Enable SSID broadcast.
    Enter a meaningful name in “Name (SSID)” as this is what will be displayed for your wireless connection.
    For Channel, select Auto.
    For Mode, select “Up to 300 Mbps”.
    Security Options, recommend WPK2-PSK[AES] for longer/stronger password options.
    Set the password of your choice.
    Repeat the same process for Wireless Network 5GHz, except vary the name slightly so you’ll be able to distinguish which band you’ll connect to. You can optionally use the same or different password as your 2.4GHz. The only exception is you’ll have to select a Channel of your choice.
    Next go down a couple more options within Setup to the LAN Setup.
    In the LAN TCP/IP Setup section, enter the IP Address you chose in step 2 (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
    Enter the IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Leave the block for “Use Router as DHCP Server” blank as your IP assignment will be handled by your Actiontec router.
    You’re now finished with the configuration and you can connect the Actiontec router to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable using the LAN ports (Note: do not connect the two routers using the WAN/Internet ports on either). You may connect your devices (PC, printers, A/V devices, etc.) to either router. If you have devices that are gigabit capable, you’ll want to connect them to the Netgear router to take advantage of the higher speed.
    To avoid any possible interference between the 2.4GHz range of the two routers, you can optionally turn off the Actiontec wireless capability by logging into the Actiontec router admin (described above), go to the My Router tab, and there should be an option for “Change Wireless Settings” in the Quick Links section. Option 1 allows you to turn On/Off the wireless portion of the router.

  • Macbook on a netgear mr814 Wifi network

    Hi
    I'm the net-admin for a wifi-network based on Netgear Mr814 routers. I have a problem getting a Macbook connected wireless.
    The Macbook is bought in US and the Mr814 uses channel 13. (Its located in Denmark, Europe).
    When I change the channel to the range 1-11, the Macbook connects and all works 100%.
    But channel 12 and 13 does not work.
    I'm not a Mac-man, so perhaps this is a stupid question :
    Where can I set the region for the airport-card.
    I think it's set for US, so only channel 1-11 is allowed.
    Can I set it for Europe ??
    The Macbook has a danish OS X.
    Hope you can help.
    Regards
    Sthh

    Hi sthh,
    Honestly I don't know if we (users) are able or allowed to modified the airport region. Is there any Danish macbook that able to use channel 12 -13 as far as you know?
    Maybe there is third party software that can hack it, but I cannot find any yet. Or check the vendor for airport (Broadcom?) for firmware updater, but I believe irt will void your warranty.
    Try to discuss that with your Danish apple store, they might be able to replace your airport to one that compatible with Denmark area.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't get a netgear router to network my macs

    I just switched from DSL to Cable and had to buy a router for the cable modem.  I can't get it to configure with my Mac Pro.  It worked with my Macbook Pro after some fiddeling.  It's a Netgear gigabit router.  My Mac's normally just hook up to the networks.
    Thanks
    Dan

    Netgear makes it a snap to setup the first time and configure.
    I also switched to cable.
    the Netgear router should not make a difference, all my cable ISP wants is the modem's MAC, nothing else.
    the booklet that came wtih the Netgear should tell you what to use, something like
    http://www.routerlogin.net/basicsettings
    you might want to post the model name / google / go to Netgear knowledge base page
    My reason for the switch, my DSL ISP no longer supported Netgear ADSL modems NOR would they support a system connected to their service that was running Windows 8 (unsupported of all things) so off to cable I went. Weird to say the least.
    I have 2-3 Netgear routers, too, and went with the model that seems to provide now the best wifi signal strength.

  • Can't connect Airport Express to Netgear router's network

    Apple Airport Express doesn't see my new network. It sees my old ActionTec router network but not my Netgear router (WNR1000v3). I only use Airport Express for Airplay audio, not for extending wifi range. Do I need to change a Netgear router setting?

    Alright. So after all that: calling Netgear, ISP and Apple customer service I fixed it myself by... get ready for it... unplugging Airport Express and plugging it back in. For some reason the AE's were seeing my old network and like 7 of my neighbors but they needed to restart to identify my new network. I hope someone else gets helped by my naivety in the future. BTW, Apple Care was awesome. My first time calling and hardly any wait time.

  • I have a printer (HP LaserJet 2100) connected via ethernet to my wireless router (Netgear) and want to use it from my MacBook Pro.

    However, the print & scan window just allows me to click on 'add', but then eveything is greyed out and the printer is not displayed.
    I was able to connect the printer without any problems to my Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (Vista) systems and I'm used to having the least problems with Macs up to now.
    I've read about similar problems here and followed the advise, but the problem remains.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    For you to "see" the printer in the Default view after you click the plus button to add, the printer would have to support an advertising protocol like Bonjour. For Linux and Vista, you would have added the printer by selecting a protocol and entering the IP address of the printer. You can do the same thing on the Mac. In Print & Scan, after you click the plus button to add, select the IP icon and then enter the IP address of the printer. Change the Protocol menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket (this is called RAW Port 9100 on the other OS's); leave the Queue name blank; change the Name to LaserJet 2100; leave the Location blank and select the supporting model name in the Use menu. Click to Add and then see if you can print.

  • I can home share to Apple TV via ethernet but not wireless.  Please help!!

    This has been driving me mad for a week now. I have an acer Laptop using windows vista. When I connect the Ethernet cable to my rout and laptop, home sharing works fine. But as soon as I disconnect and go wireless, Apple TV cannot find my library. My partner has a HP laptop that operates on windows xp. That works fine. can anyone help and give me a step by step guide with what to do? I've checked every apple forum on the matter and nothing seems to work. I figure it's got something to do with my wireless Internet settings. It can't be the router if my partners library shares ok, right?? I've uninstalled macafee and even turned my windows firewall off. But surely these weren't problems in the first place if Ethernet connection works?!? Am not very tech savvy, so any simple things to check would be SO appreciated.

    Homesharing should work over ethernet too, ask your network provider about homesharing, it may be that the university doesn't allow it.

  • Airport express with wireless NetGear router

    Hello everyone...
    I received an Airport Express for Christmas. I was immediately able to set up a wireless network at the home I was visiting by plugging in the ethernet cable and a few simple set up steps. After bringing it home, I was able to set it up with the stereo in my bedroom to run iTunes throughout my apartment.
    The problem is that I can't get the Airport Express to work through the wireless network already set up in my apartment. If I do the iTunes thing, I can't connect to the internet while it's playing--so it seems to be creating its own network but not connecting with the current wireless internet available in the room.
    I did the full reset (unplugged the airport, pushed and held the reset button while plugging it back in until it flashed green three times). From reading other posts I understand that I do have a wireless router capable of handling the WDS (WGR614 v6) but for some reason I am unable to set it up!
    Someone please help so i can stream iTunes and surf the net at the same time!

    thanks for the link, however my router does not show up in the airport utility. I am not using an airport base station, I am using a Netgear as stated in the original question.
    +> 1. Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.+
    This I was able to do, obviously...
    +>Open AirPort Utility. Select the main base station...+
    There are no stations listed and I have tried clicking "other" and entering the IP address I believe my router is using, but to no avail.
